provision of a simple, inexpensive device of.

the character specified which is capable of adjustment to fit differentsizes of sinks.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section of a sink andthe improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the bracket, and Fig. 3is a similar View with the parts separated.

The present embodiment of the invention comprises a frame for partiallyencircling the body 1 of the sink, just beneath the marginalflange 2thereof, the flange resting upon'the upper edge of the frame. The

"frame is composed of sections which are adjustable to fit thesink. Theframe is made up of four sections, two similar end sections and twosimilar connecting. sections. Each of the end sections conslsts of'a bar3 having I atone end a lateral inwardlyextending lug 4c andprovided witha longitudinal series of spaced openings 5. The openings '5extend I fromthe lug 4 to the outer endof thebar,

and the said lug is provided withan opening 6 for receiving a screw 7,or the like, for securing the; end of the bar to thewall 8 or othersupport for the sink. The outerfend A of each bar is supported by. aninclined brace attaching 111g 10 for engaging thewall, and

the lug has an'opening 11 forreceiving a screw1'12 or the like, toconnect the lug to the wall. The opposite end of thebrace is lappeduponthe inner face of the outer end of the adjacent bar 1, and is secured tothe bar by a rivet 12, or the like. Themeeting I ends of the bar and thebrace are cut away or beveled, as shown in Fig. 3, to--fit each othersmoothly.

Each of the connecting sections is an angle bar composed of two integralportions arranged at a right angle toieach other.

Each of the portions 1 1 and 15 of the inner section is provided with alongitudinal series of openings 16 and 17 respectively, and each 1, ofthe corresponding portions 1 1 and 15 of the outer section is providedwith a longitudinal series of openings 16 and 17*.

The portions '14: and 14 of sections 14, '15 and 1415 are ofapproximately the same length as the adjacent bar 3, and the portions 15and 15 of the said sections are of approximately equal length. Inassembling the bracket, the portions 14: andl l of the connectingsections are arranged alongside the bars 3 on theouter faces thereof,andthe portions 15 and 15 of the sections are arranged alongside eachother. The distancev between each pair of adjacent openings of theseries 16 of the-connecting sections is. double the distance between theopenings of series 5 of the bars 3, and the distance between theopenings of series 15 bears the same relation to that between theopenings ofseries15. The portions 14 and 14 of the connecting sectionsare connected to the bars 3 bymeans of bolts and nuts 18 engagingregistering openings of series 5 and 16, 16, and the sections 15 and 15of the said. sec- Patented Dec. 1'7, 19 12.

tions are connected by bolts and nuts 19 eni sinks, and when adjusted tothe proper size may be held'in such position by the bolts. If desirable,the sections 3 with the braces 9 may be first secured in place on thewall, after which the sink may be placed and the connecting sectionsplaced last. Or the frame may be assembled, secured in place, and thesink seated in the frame. The bracket'is simple and inexpensive andmaybe of any desired size and weight.
